About Batelion
Batelion is an international boutique visual effects studio and film production company founded in 2016. Based in Nuremberg with a branch in New York, it works across European and North American production markets. Its work spans independent feature films, episodic television, streaming productions and commercial campaigns, combining visual effects services with a developing role in film production.
The studio specializes in photorealistic and invisible effects, including digital set extensions, CGI inserts and environmental simulations. Its simulation capabilities encompass fire, smoke, water, cloth and fur. These sit alongside a broader computer graphics offering that includes modelling, rigging and lighting, allowing the studio to contribute both individual digital elements and more extensive visual effects sequences.
From planning to post-production
Batelion's involvement can begin with script analysis, shot planning, visual effects breakdowns and budgeting. It provides on-set and independent VFX supervision, helping productions assess their requirements before and during filming. The studio also takes on projects with strained production pipelines, reviewing budgets and workloads to help optimize delivery.
Its post-production services include digital compositing, rotoscoping, matchmoving, digital intermediate work and colour grading. Together with its supervision and CGI capabilities, these services support projects through planning, production and finishing.
The company's feature credits include Last Sentinel, Wildling, Human Capital, Skin and Boarding School. Its television work includes Lost in Space, Krypton, Colony and The Rain. Commercial projects include automotive campaigns and simulation work for branded content.
Beyond commissioned effects work, Batelion has expanded into story development, European co-production and in-house original intellectual property. This production activity extends its involvement beyond individual effects assignments into the development and packaging of film projects.
